I have been using RoverLog this year and like it! You can use it in manual mode to enter QSOs post contest. You can also force a "dupe". You can use NotePad to edit the Cabrillo file for the new rove

IMHO this is absolutely the wrong approach as eliminating all contacts with stations who did not turn in a log would penalize stations who go out of their way to pick up additional contest points fro
